Qatar’s Ministry of Labour will announce the official launch of Wage Protection System (WPS) tomorrow, a report said.

The system aims to pay all private sector workers salaries online through banking channels, added The Peninsula report.

Qatar had earlier postponed the launch of the mandatory online wage payment system for low-income private sector workers, and was scheduled to be launched on August 17, the report said.

The ministry will monitor WPS and companies that fail to comply with the system will be handled appropriately.

A company will transfer salaries of its workers to its bank which will check data and whether the firm has sufficient balance in its account.

The bank will then credit online salaries of workers to their accounts and the workers will be notified of transfers, the report said.
